Isn't that the one that ran with Superman and Batman as a gay couple? Even in today's climate, I cannot possibly see that going over too well in some parts of the world like China.

The Chinese government banned the Ghostbusters reboot because of the paranormal stuff, there's no way they'd let homosexual content from the States pass their borders.

It was a one child rule and they got rid of it (too little too late considering how rapidly their population is aging and their gender imbalance leaving their men without women to marry.) Anyway, homosexuality is never cool under communist rule.

They want lots of babies because they are currently going to get turbofucked by their demographics. They're a more extreme Japan issue with a less developed economy.

You're right we should just let them do whatever the gently caress they want, there's no way that will ever turn out bad. How silly of that guy for suggesting oversight would be a good thing.

You can actually see fans shutting down, when they start talking in vague terms of like 'oversight' and 'killing'. It's total newspeak stuff.

Try using specific terms like 'manslaughter' and 'surveillance'.

Yeah the Chinese Government is basically :biotruths: . The problem with them now is that all films must pander to their archaic bullshit rules so even though we don't live there we have to face the fact that all our films are edited with their strict rules in mind.

It had a lot more references and stuff, which is cool, but god drat the first TMNT movie from 2014 or whatever was actually a better movie.

This one was awesome because it had literally a billions references and characters that were awesome. I was totally expecting Bxter to become flyguy in this one.

No, it makes perfect sense. Men already have access to a dick (their own), while woman do not.

No one should have access to two dicks until everyone has access to one.

NEWT REBORN

Comic book illiteracy: Bruce Wayne is straight up like "Alfred I want to gently caress the Joker in the mouth with a loaded handgun" and the only part that you object to here is that a serial killer might die. Like, not the rape aspect; that part's ok.

Alfred's point isn't that killing is objectively evil, but that Wayne is simply 'more than just a killer' - that he's not doing this for fun. (And that's not even going into the basic setup of Bruce saying this aloud because he expects Alfred to lay down a reassuring prohibition. Close-up on the fatherly hand on his shoulder.)

There's a lot of decontextualizing in your post. Like a character just says "killing is the absolutely most wrong thing you can ever do" so you take that 100% literally - even though he just finished killing a guy moments ago. When Superman says "Superman has even less right to kill than normal people" that's plainly some sad-sack bullshit. But you're not even interpreting the statement. You're treating it as an objective fact.

It's super bizarre. As of this year urban Han Chinese can have an extra child, if they successfully petition for one. Rural Han and minority Chinese, like Hmong and Uyghur have had various exemptions and restrictions for a long time, in this very strange balancing act of ethnic control.

Interesting. Tell me, what are your thoughts on eating with others? People sitting in a circle, face-loving themselves and letting out moans and cries of pleasure while staring at each other do the same, even encouraging each other to try their flavor insertable. So, when someone asks you out to eat their really attempting to lure you into a exposed position so that they may literally look into one of your holes as you do stuff to it, as means of giving themselves pleasure. If you protest, the molesters will explain your lack of control. "C'mon, it'll be fun." "You have to eat sooner or later, let's just go now." You force a no, you may shamed for spurning their attempts at gaining intimacy with you, essentially a form of victim blaming.

The best part of having lunch with a friend is when he shoves food in my mouth. Went to Denny's the other day and Bill, you know Bill right, he says "you gotta try this sausage," and just sticks a big old bite right down my throat. Love that sausage.

Utterly incorrect and inaccurate. My intention is to suss out wether a gun can be just a gun, a cigar a cigar, etc.

A gun because it's final, in the mouth because at that point the struggle has concluded. Not because it's a penis, and rape?
